Well, I’m totally eating crow now.  Consumer Reports is at the Michigan International Speedway watching the Automotive X Prize teams in their track trials.  They’re the ones responsible for setting up the competitive track sports, since they’re obviously experts in safety and handling testing. Well, to boil it down, the Aptera did really, really, really shitty in its handling tests.

Not like “wow, try that again, man.“  More like “holy crap, are you sure that contraption has a steering wheel in it?”

Here’s video of the Aptera plowing over cones like that’s the whole point of the safe handling tests.  I hang my head in shame.  That little tiny, dumb-looking, way-too-skinny-for-its-own-good, butt of a lot of Aaron’s jokes Tango is apparently whoopin’ buttocks at this event.

Great.

Not only does my favorite car turn out to be a lemon on the scale of Russian-made Chinese weaponry imported into Guatemala, but it’s having its ass handed to it by the lamest-looking car on the track.  Geez.  This is like watching Bruce Lee getting beat up by a 5th grade schoolgirl with a Hello Kitty bag.

Thanks, Consumer Reports.  Now my whole weekend is shot.  My favorite car just got totally Pwn’d by some half-lane contraption from Washington.  FnA
